Equipment Installation

The engine installation in the CARF Hawk is very simple. The large access through the fuselage opening when the wing is removed provides a lot of room to work. A carbon duct, mainly for fire safety reason, feeds into a double walled thrust tube. Quite long, therefore with maximum diameter possible. To have enough room for fuel and smoke we did not use an internal intake ducting.
	All other equipment, both engine accessories and RC components, are mounted on a large RC board in the canopy area. Very easily accessible through the large canopy. With the CARF Hawk the correct center of gravity is easily to achieve, there is no additional weight or any other trick necessary to balance the plane perfectly.
